If Only SCOTUS Cared About Protecting Americans’ Rights As Much As They Do Illegal Aliens
Shawn Fleetwood
If there was any doubt left that a majority of Supreme Court justices are more interested in playing politics than upholding Americans’ constitutional rights, it was all flushed down the drain following the Monday release of the high court’s weekly order list.
A week after refusing to defend the free speech rights of a Massachusetts minor, the nation’s highest court declined to take up two pertinent cases involving the Second Amendment. As The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd reported, one involved a challenge to a 2013 Maryland law banning the possession of AR-15s, while the other saw plaintiffs contest a 2022 Rhode Island statute making it a felony “to possess a magazine that held more than 10 rounds of ammunition.”
Plaintiffs in both cases asked SCOTUS for relief after suffering losses in the lower federal courts.
Despite the seemingly egregious infringement of petitioners’ Second Amendment rights, only Associate Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch signaled their intent to take up the cases. (At least four justices must agree to hear a case before it can be considered by the full court.)
